Reading thru this collection tonight, and upon reading his stories The Return of the Sorcerer; and Ubbo-Sathla I can say Clark Ashton Smith is pretty good. Never read anything by him before but he was pretty attuned to the Lovecraft shtick even before Lovecraft died. And he seems to have taken inspiration from Robert E Howard as well. The Ramsey Campbell story was also decent but I'm kind of cool on him, no pun intended. There's a Howard story in here too, The Black Stone which the anon^^^ mentioned up above. Think I'll read that one next. It's 4am by the way.
